>Foundation Laid For Construction of Parking Garage on North Walnut Street

>Stuart Portney, president of The Metro Company, a real estate, planning, housing, finance, and development consulting group based in Jersey City, presented a draft Central Business District redevelopment plan to Village Council members during last night’s Council Work Session.

The redevelopment plan’s sole purpose is to legalize construction of a 50 foot high, 4-story, 300+ space parking garage on the northwest corner of North Walnut Street and Franklin Avenue. As currently planned, the structure will incorporate retail space on floor one, and parking on floors two through four.

Although a development company and architect have not yet been selected, Jeff Wells, principal owner of Wells Associates, an architectural firm with close ties to the Village, was present in the audience during Mr. Portney’s presentation. It is rumored Mr. Wells is also a member of the real estate investment group that recently purchased 120 Franklin Avenue, the former Town Garage property, which must be acquired by the Village to facilitate construction of the proposed parking structure.

A revised redevelopment plan will be submitted for Council approval within one week. Once Council members approve the plan, it will be forwarded to Planning Board members for review and endorsement.

>PJ Speaks………NO FUN ALLOWED

>Ok so first it was the smoking ban, now it’s the underage drinking in my own house ban…oh brother! Do you really want to live in a world were everything you do in your life is regulated by the same Village Hall that has a plumbing problem? Folks the more responsibility you are willing to give up the less personal freedom you will have to exercise.

It seems no matter what you do, it is guaranteed to offend somebody. So first its NO smoking, then its NO drinking, NO talking, NO smiling, NO religion, NO Parking, NO fishing, NO Swimming, NO Dancing, NO swearing, No Driving, NO fun yes absolutely NO FUN.

Sorry but I am not going to let this government or any other run my life for me. They have demonstrated by there actions that they are singularly unqualified. I will exercise my personal responsibility and run my own life thank you comrade and be prepared to take the consequences for my actions. I suggest everyone start acting like grown ups ,you might actually like it.

>Congressman Garrett Tours flood Damage in Bergen County

>Dear Friends:

This weekend, I toured some of the flood damage in Bergen County. Accompanied by local elected officials, police and fire chiefs, and emergency management officers, I visited communities in New Milford, Rochelle Park, and River Edge. And, as the rivers begin to recede to pre-flood levels, there is little doubt that the damage is severe.

I have joined with all of my colleagues in the New Jersey delegation to ask the President to declare parts of New Jersey a federal disaster area. These letters echo the official requests by Acting New Jersey Governor Richard Codey. I have also written to FEMA to encourage them to make assessments and disaster declaration recommendations as swiftly as possible.

FEMA is continuing to work with local emergency management offices to assess the damage from last week’s nor’easter. FEMA had Preliminary Disaster Assessment Teams and resources such as generators pre-positioned in New Jersey before the storm to facilitate quick assessment. I am hopeful that actual aid will be available to residents, municipalities, and businesses soon.

As soon as the preliminary assessments are completed, the President will be able to determine if the threshold for a federal disaster declaration has been met. Once such a declaration is made, FEMA will set up regional disaster recovery centers at which citizens will be able to apply for relief. As soon as more information becomes available, I will be certain to get the word out. In the meantime, if you would like to get an idea of what may be available, you may want to visit https://www.fema.gov/assistance/index.shtm.

Furthermore, you may be interested to know that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) extended the deadline for tax filings for those directly impacted by the storm. The IRS initially extended the deadline by 48 hours, but it then extended the deadline a second time to Thursday, April 26th. For more information on this extension, visit the IRS’ website, https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=169543,00.html.

Sincerely,

Scott Garrett

Member of Congress
